Our second camping trip in the PNW, also pre-log book! We wanted to see how far we could extend our camping season so we ventured our in early October. Most of the national forest campgrounds were closed by then so we stayed at this privately owned campground. This was an interesting place. We were 1 of maybe 3 other camping groups, but I think the other campers were a fairly large burly group of hunters. There’s some cabins here too which looked nice but I don’t think they’re dog friendly.

I don’t remember much about this campground except Mark was fairly creeped out by what turned out to be a fire house, but seemed more like an abandoned meth house. There’s a store and a little restaurant window with pretty solid pizza on site. We also drove a few miles out for a hike recommended by the store manager but I have no idea where it was so I can’t really retrace my steps here. We loved the hike and found tons of mushrooms, mostly red belted conks but it was our first mushroom find in the PNW so we were pretty excited. This area was also all old growth with huge huge trees, we were so charmed.

It rained most of the weekend, as it was definitely fall, but we’d built out #vandiesel a bit already so we were well prepared to relax in the van and wait out the rain. It was a great trip but we made a plan to get more organized for the next summer and the rest is history.
